Can you hear the bells, Albo?

I would like to invite our Prime Minister to visit Maroochydore, as it seems every time he visits anywhere, he bestows a billion dollars on their citizens. I have no more clue about who will repay the money than he does, but his largesse is reputedly unstoppable.

If Albo can hear ringing in his ears might it be the bells of Werribee tolling for thee?

I guess I’ve known for a while but after reading the magazine profile this weekend, it’s now confirmed: I have a “girl crush” on Jacinta Nampijinpa Price.

Please can we find a new word or term for “public service”? I’ve asked around the pubs but none of the replies are printable.

Trump’s grandiose plan for the ruined Gaza Strip to rise like a phoenix into a glittering East Mediterranean Riviera Shangri-La is unrealistic. And what is equally fanciful is Anthony Albanese’s and Penny Wong’s commitment to a two-state solution.

We always knew common sense trumped stupidity, so why did the food distributers and now big business and the miners take so long to realise that and call out our government? Thank you, President Donald Trump, for giving them the mettle.

President Donald Trump is going to replace paper drinking straws with plastic? I am really starting to like this bloke.

I enjoy reading all The Australian’s columnists. Chris Uhlmann was a brilliant recruit and gave the best-balanced account of Gaza and its future that I have read in The Weekend Australian (“Trump fails to learn from history and the Bible”, 8-9/2.

I remember the days when our country was thought to be the future food basket of Asia. Unfortunately, under the Albanese government, we seem destined to be the basket case.
